Of course we’ll wpnt something
new and different to brighten up the
wardrobe.
Christmas holidays are the season

This year, women are wearing
very skimpy hats. In fact the latest
style on the market is the velvet

other color you desire. These hats
fit close to the head and have the
added glamour of a neck mask veil.
Velveteen bags are quite popular
these days. They may be purchased
in any color and style.

Players Stage
Comedy

production of “A Midsummer
Night’s Dream”, staged in Davage.
Auditorium on November 23, 24,
was acclaimed by the capacity audi
ence on both nights a superb per
formance.
Art instructor Arthur Sherrod’s
set was an eye catcher as the first
scene opened and “Philostrate”,
“Egeus”, and “Hippolyta” appeared.
Theodore Matthews, Robert Wynn,
and Evelyn Shye, who played these
parts respectively, all turned in
highly successful renditions.' By the
time “Demetrius”, played by Edwin
Pratt, and “Helena”, played by Ce-
lestine Brown, came on the stage
the action had begun to quicken and
so had the speech *of the actors.
“Lysander” and “Hermia” (Richard
Byrd and Juanita Marshall)' enter
ed to increase the attentiveness of
the audience and by the end of the
first act it was inevitable that the
rest of the play would be of first
order.
Especially well done were the
dances of the fairies for which a
good deal of credit belongs to Miss
S
Rogermae Johnson who acted as
choreographer for the group. These
fairie^ fascinated the audience with
their mobility of movement.
Other members of the cast were
Charles Jackson as “Smug”, Edsel
Carson as “Bottom”; Robert John
son as “Flute”; Leon Woods as
“Snout”; Alfred Knox as “Starvel
ing”; Maurice Thompson as “Ob-
eron”; Andrea Thompson as “Tita-
nia”, and Claretha McAlpin as
“Puck," Charlie Mae Willman, De
borah Smith, Rosa Leigh Osborn,
Ollie Howel. Mildred Mallette, De-
a
borah Middleton, Helena MiUer and
Glendora Patterson were the fairies.
Attendants were Marilyn Robinson
and Mary Frances Jordan.
